And you can supply readers to be 'shared' but you can't share a scribe.
  We are in a similar boat.  For Year 10 exams we need 11 readers/scribes
and I only have 10 TAs on the premises!  I know we could move internal exams
but it is still an issue.  And we have paid invigilators and we have tried
to train some of them to be scribes etc but we can't find (let alone fund)
more invigilators to invigilare while the ones we had in the first place do
the scribing so that pupils not taking exams can have support in the
classroom so they can learn the stuff that they are going to be asked about
in exams . . . . . . . .

This is quite an issue for us - last week 14 students qualified for readers
- only six ASKED for questions to be read - so most had no benefit. Trying
to get them to understand the need/importance was a lost battle.

It is quite clear in the instructions for additional support. You may read
the question to the child, in KS2 incl symbols and numbers IF they ask. You
cannot reword the question.

Hi, just looking through the ARR book/ guidelines for KS2 SATs and it
says a reader may help in "clarifying specific text in a mathematical
question as long as no clue is given to the answer"

Does anybody know what this means you can/ cannot do? Quite desperate
as they begin tomorrow and we haven't had a visit for a few years-
can't risk doin the wrong thing.

Thanks to anybody who is able to shed some light!
